Service Bulletin – June 2023
Tire Pilot Plus™ (TPP) Inflation System
Tire Pilot Plus Safety Concern
Tire Pilot Plus (TPP) system produced on trailers after November 2022 with the electronic regulator assembly have been determined under specific conditions to slowly deflate the trailer tires.
The following instructions provide the necessary information for identifying and disabling the Tire Pilot Plus system. It is required to disable the Tire Pilot Plus system until troubleshooting and root cause determination work is complete. Service repair kit SRK-951 (Part Number – 48100817) is available for this procedure and the parts within the kit are commercially available as shown below. The kit includes nine 1/4 NPT pipe plugs and eight valve stem caps.
Tire Pilot Plus Inspection and Disable Process
INSPECTION:
- Check the trailer build date on the VIN tag. If it was manufactured November 2022 or later, the trailer could be in the target group, but needs to be confirmed to have the electronic regulator assembly installed.
- Figure 1 illustrates the new electronic regulator that will need to be disabled. Location is on the front crossmember for a sliding suspension.
- Before performing any maintenance on the trailer, set the parking brake and block the tires.
Failure to set the parking brake and chock the tires prior to beginning maintenance could allow the vehicle movement which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
TPP Inspection and Disable Process
DISABLE:
- If determined to have an electronic regulator assembly, isolate the trailer air tank from its air supply. Drain the air from the trailer air tank.
- Loosen and remove the tire hoses by hand starting at the hubcap fitting (Figure 2). Tire hoses should be disposed.
- Remove the tire hose fitting from the hubcap using a 15mm or 9/16″ deep well socket. (Figure 3).
- Install a valve stem cap on the tire valve stem (Figure 4).
- Install the 1/4 NPT pipe plug in the hubcaps. Install hand tight plus 2 turns or 25-30 lb-in (Figure 5).
- Disconnect the air line from the PPV as illustrated (Figure 6).
TPP Inspection and Disable Process
- Remove the 90 degree push to connect fitting and install Figure 7 a 1/4″ pipe plug hand tight plus 2 turns or 25-30 lb-in as illustrated (Figure 7).
- Reinstall the 90 degree push to connect fitting to the air line and coil up and secure the air line back to the slider subframe or another secured air line with zip ties.
- Re-tighten the trai ler air tank drain.
- Verify steps 2 through 9 are completed per instructions.
NOTE: DO NOT disconnect the electrical connection to the electronic regulator. Open electrical connectors will corrode, collect contamination and cause performance issues when the system is re-activated.
For this procedure SAF-HOLLAND will reimburse 1/2 hour of labor per trailer. Once the procedure is done, you will need to supply:
- trailer make
- trailer VIN
- trailer in-service date
- both axle serial numbers
- suspension serial number
- date of repair
- authorization number
to SAF-HOLLAND warranty at service@safholland.com for labor reimbursement.
If other warrantable issues are found during the disabling of the TPP electronic regulator, a separate claim must be filed for those items.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. SAF-HOLLAND is committed to serving our customers with quality products. Once a permanent corrective action is developed, further instructions will be available.

The following instructions provide the necessary information for identifying and disabling the Tire Pilot Plus system. It is required to disable the Tire Pilot Plus system until troubleshooting and root cause determination work is complete. Service repair kit SRK-951 (Part Number – 48100817) is available for this procedure and the parts within the kit are commercially available as shown below. The kit includes nine 1 /4 NPT pipe plugs and eight valve stem caps. Tire Pilot Plus Inspection and Disable Process INSPECTION: 1. Check the trailer build date on the VIN tag. If it was manufactured November 2022 or later, the trailer could be in the target group, but needs to be confirmed to have the electronic regulator assembly installed. 2. Figure 1 illustrates the new electronic regulator that will need to be disabled. Location is on the front crossmember for a sliding suspension. 3. Before performing any maintenance on the trailer, set the parking brake and block the tires. !A WARNING! Figure 1 Failure to set the parking brake and chock the tires prior to beginning maintenance could allow the vehicle movement which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

Drain the VALVE STEM CAP air from the trailer air tank. 2. Loosen and remove the tire hoses by hand starting at the hubcap fitting (Figure 2). Tire hoses should be disposed. 3. Remove the tire hose fitting from the hubcap using a 15mm or 9/16″ deep well socket. (Figure 3). 4. Install a valve stem cap on the tire valve stem (Figure 4). 5. Install the 1 /4 NPT pipe plug in the hubcaps. Install hand tight plus 2 turns or 25-30 lb-in (Figure 5). 6. Disconnect the air line from the PPV as illustrated (Figure 6).

Remove the 90 degree push to connect fitting and install a 1 /4″ pipe plug hand tight plus 2 turns or 25-30 lb-in as illustrated (Figure 7). 8. Reinstall the 90 degree push to connect fitting to the air . line and coil up and secure the air line back to the slider subframe or another secured air line with zip ties. 9. Re-tighten the trai ler air tank drain. 10. Verify steps 2 through 9 are completed per instructions. NOTE: DO NOT disconnect the electrical connection to the electronic regulator. Open electrical connectors will corrode, collect contamination and cause performance issues when the system is re-activated. For this procedure $AF-HOLLAND will reimburse 1 /2 hour of labor per trailer. Once the procedure is done, you will need to supply: ■ trailer make ■ trailer VIN ■ trailer in-service date ■ both axle serial numbers ■ suspension serial number ■ date of repair ■ authorization number to SAF-HOLLAND warranty at service@safholland.com for labor reimbursement. If other warrantable issues are found during the disabling of the TPP electronic regulator, a separate claim must be filed for those items. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. SAF-HOLLAND is committed to serving our customers with quality products. Once a permanent corrective action is developed, further instructions will be available.
